Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für einen gattungsgemäßen Fahrzeugsitz eine verbesserte Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere leicht und flexibel umrüsten lässt.The present invention is concerned with the problem of providing a generic vehicle seat an improved embodiment, which can be particularly easy and flexible to convert.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, bei einem Fahrzeugsitz, insbesondere für einen Omnibus, welcher einen Rahmen sowie eine daran angeordnete Sitzlehne, eine am Rahmen angeordnete Sitzfläche und eine Beinstütze aufweist, die Beinstütze und die Sitzfläche als leicht zusammen vom Rahmen trennbare und dadurch auch leicht austauschbare Einheit auszubilden. Generell ist die Beinstütze zwischen einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung und einer Gebrauchsstellung verstellbar, wobei sie sich in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung in zumindest annähernd vertikaler Lage befindet und sich in der Gebrauchsstellung vom vorderen Rand der Sitzfläche aus nach vorne erstreckt. Die Beinstütze ist um eine in Sitzquerrichtung verlaufende und an einem vorderen Randbereich der Sitzfläche angeordnete Schwenkachse schwenkbar bezüglich der Sitzfläche gelagert und um diese Schwenkachse zwischen ihrer Gebrauchsstellung und ihrer Nichtgebrauchsstellung verstellbar. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann die Beinstütze zusammen mit der Sitzfläche einfach vom Rahmen getrennt werden und beispielsweise durch eine normale Sitzfläche ohne Beinstütze ersetzt werden. Hierdurch können der Rahmen und die Sitzlehne für beide Fahrzeugsitzversionen verwendet werden, wodurch die Teilevielfalt und damit die Lager- und Logistikkosten gesenkt werden können. Gleichzeitig ist auch ein nachträgliches Umrüsten von Fahrzeugsitzen ohne Beinstütze zu Fahrzeugsitzen mit Beinstütze problemlos möglich, da hierzu lediglich die Sitzfläche ohne Beinstütze vom Rahmen getrennt werden muss und durch eine Einheit aus Sitzfläche mit daran angeordneter Beinstütze ersetzt werden muss. Von besonderem Vorteil ist darüber hinaus, dass durch den erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugsitz eine besonders flexible Ausstattung von Fahrzeugen gegeben ist.The invention is based on the general idea, in a vehicle seat, in particular for a bus, which has a frame and a seat back arranged thereon, a seating surface arranged on the frame and a legrest, the legrest and the seat as easily together from the frame and thereby also to form easily replaceable unit. In general, the legrest is adjustable between a non-use position and a use position, wherein it is in the non-use position in at least approximately vertical position and extends in the position of use from the front edge of the seat forward. The legrest is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis extending in the seat transverse direction and arranged on a front edge region of the seat surface relative to the seat surface and adjustable about this pivot axis between its position of use and its non-use position. The solution according to the invention, the legrest can be easily separated from the frame together with the seat and replaced for example by a normal seat without legrest. As a result, the frame and the seat back can be used for both vehicle seat versions, whereby the variety of parts and thus the storage and logistics costs can be reduced. At the same time a subsequent retooling of vehicle seats without legrest to vehicle seats with legrest is easily possible because this only the seat without legrest must be separated from the frame and must be replaced by a unit of seat with arranged it legrest. Of particular advantage beyond that is given by the vehicle seat according to the invention a particularly flexible equipment of vehicles.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist die Sitzfläche zusammen mit der Beinstütze in Sitzquerrichtung verstellbar. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass die Beinstütze bei einer Querverschiebung der Sitzfläche nicht an ihrer ursprünglichen Stelle verbleibt, d.h. zusammen mit der Sitzfläche verlagert und somit eine komfortable Beinauflage ermöglicht. Insbesondere die Kopplung zwischen Sitzfläche und Beinstütze über die dazwischen angeordnete Schwenkachse garantiert eine gleichbleibende Lage zwischen den beiden Elementen. Durch das Verstellen der Einheit aus Sitzfläche und Beinstütze in Sitzquerrichtung kann insbesondere bei länger andauernden Busreisen eine deutliche Komfortsteigerung erreicht werden, was einen nicht zu unterschätzenden Produktvorteil darstellt.In an advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the seat is adjustable together with the legrest in the seat transverse direction. This offers the advantage that the leg support does not remain at its original position in the case of a transverse displacement of the seat surface, ie displaced together with the seat surface, thus enabling a comfortable leg rest. In particular, the coupling between the seat and legrest on the interposed Swivel axis guarantees a consistent position between the two elements. By adjusting the unit of seat and legrest in seat transverse direction, a significant increase in comfort can be achieved, especially in longer-lasting bus travel, which represents a not to be underestimated product advantage.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Beinstütze in Sitzquerrichtung sattelförmig ausgebildet. Eine derartige sattelförmige Ausbildung bewirkt eine passive Stabilisierung der auf der Beinstütze aufgelagerten Beine. Bei einem Längsschnitt durch den Fahrzeugsitz weist die nach unten gekrümmte Form der Beinstütze eine ergonomisch angenehme und angepasste Kontur auf, welche es erlaubt, auch längere Zeit die Beine auf der erfindungsgemäßen Beinstütze abzulegen. Durch die bei einem Schnitt in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugsitzes ausgebildete hyperbelartige Mulde an einer Oberseite der sich in der Gebrauchsstellung befindlichen Beinstütze kann erreicht werden, dass die auf der Beinstütze aufgelagerten Beine einen ausreichenden Seitenhalt erfahren und dadurch ein seitliches Abrutschen von der Beinstütze verhindert werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment, the legrest is formed saddle-shaped in seat transverse direction. Such a saddle-shaped formation causes a passive stabilization of the legs supported on the leg support. In a longitudinal section through the vehicle seat, the downwardly curved shape of the leg rest on an ergonomically pleasant and adapted contour, which allows for a long time to lay down the legs on the legrest according to the invention. By trained in a cut in the transverse direction of the vehicle seat hyperbolic trough on an upper side of the legrest in the use position can be achieved that the legs supported on the leg experience sufficient lateral support and thereby lateral slipping of the legrest can be prevented.

Zweckmäßig weist die Beinstütze und/oder die Sitzfläche und/oder die Rückenlehne seitlich hervorstehende Wangen auf. Derartige seitlich hervorstehende Wangen unterstützen zusätzlich einen Seitenhalt und ermöglichen dadurch ein komfortables Sitzen auch selbst bei größeren Querbeschleunigungen.The legrest and / or the seat surface and / or the backrest expediently has laterally projecting cheeks. Such laterally protruding cheeks also support a lateral support and thereby allow a comfortable sitting even at greater lateral accelerations.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist zur Verstellung der Beinstütze eine Gasfeder vorgesehen, welche einenends an einer Unterseite der Sitzfläche und anderenends an einer Unterseite der Beinstütze schwenkbar gelagert ist. Eine derartige Gasfeder kann beispielsweise mittels eines einfachen Hebels aufgepumpt werden, wodurch sich die Beinstütze auch bei aufgelegten Beinen leicht von deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchsstellung verfahren lässt. Die Feder in der Gasfeder bewirkt, dass bei einem Lösen des aufgebrachten Gasdruckes die Beinstütze selbstständig in deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung zurückfährt. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Bedienung der Gasfeder, das heißt ein Aufpumpen des in der Gasfeder vorhandenen Gasvolumens, mit einem einfachen Handhebel zu bewerkstelligen, welcher darüber hinaus vorzugsweise so an der Sitzfläche angeordnet ist, dass auch eine auf der Sitzfläche sitzende Person ohne aufstehen zu müssen, die Beinstütze von deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchsstellung verstellen kann.In a further advantageous embodiment, a gas spring is provided for adjusting the leg support, which is pivotally mounted at one end to a bottom of the seat and the other end to a bottom of the leg support. Such a gas spring, for example, by means of a simple Levers are inflated, so that the legrest can be easily moved even when laying legs of their non-use position in the use position. The spring in the gas spring causes the legrest to automatically return to its non-use position when the applied gas pressure is released. Preferably, the operation of the gas spring, that is, a pumping of the present in the gas spring gas volume to accomplish with a simple hand lever, which is also preferably arranged on the seat, that even a person sitting on the seat without having to get up, can adjust the legrest from its non-use position to the use position.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung weist die Beinstütze eine kleinere Breite als die Sitzfläche auf. Dies bietet den großen Vorteil, dass eine auf der Sitzfläche sitzende Person ihre Beine wahlweise auf der in Gebrauchsstellung befindlichen Beinstütze ablegen kann oder seitlich davon mit abgewinkeltem Knie auf dem Boden aufstellen kann. Das heißt ein seitliches Herabnehmen der Beine von der Beinstütze und ein Aufstellen des Fußes auf dem Boden ist problemlos möglich, auch ohne dass hierzu die Beinstütze in deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung zurückverfahren werden muss. Dies steigert insbesondere den Komfort bei längeren Reisen, bei welchen abwechselnde Sitzpositionen als besonders angenehm empfunden werden.In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the legrest has a smaller width than the seat surface. This offers the great advantage that a person sitting on the seat can optionally place their legs on the legrest in the use position or can set it up laterally with angled knees on the floor. That is, a lateral lowering of the legs of the legrest and a raising of the foot on the ground is easily possible, even without the legrest must be in their non-use position back process. This increases in particular the comfort of longer trips, in which alternate seating positions are perceived as particularly pleasant.

Entsprechend Fig. 1 umfasst ein erfindungsgemäßer Fahrzeugsitz 1 zumindest einen Rahmen 2, an dem eine Sitzlehne 3 und eine Sitzfläche 4 angeordnet sind, und eine Beinstütze 5 sowie zumindest eine seitliche Armlehne 6. Die Sitzlehne 3 ist über eine nicht dargestellte Betätigungseinrichtung in ihrer Neigung gegenüber der im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Sitzfläche 4 schwenkbar um eine Achse 7 angeordnet. Hierdurch lässt sich die Sitzlehne 3 stufenlos in mehrere.Stellungen, angefangen von einer nahezu lotrechten Grundstellung bis hin zu einer stark geneigten Liegestellung verstellen. Die Liegestellung ist dabei in Fig. 1 durchgehend gezeichnet, während eine aufrechte Sitzposition mit unterbrochen gezeichneten Linien dargestellt ist. Generell kann der Fahrzeugsitz 1 als Einzel- oder als Doppelsitz ausgebildet sein, wobei zur seitlichen Begrenzung der Sitzfläche 4 beziehungsweise der Sitzlehne 3 zumindest eine seitliche Armlehne 6 angeordnet sein kann. Diese kann, sofern es sich um einen Doppelsitz handelt, hochklappbar und in einer Ebene der beiden benachbarten Sitzlehnen 3 versenkbar ausgebildet sein.Corresponding Fig. 1 a vehicle seat 1 according to the invention comprises at least one frame 2, on which a seat back 3 and a seat surface 4 are arranged, and a leg rest 5 and at least one lateral arm rest 6. The seat back 3 is in its inclination relative to the substantially horizontal via an actuating device, not shown extending seat 4 pivotally arranged about an axis 7. As a result, the seat back 3 can be continuously adjusted in several.Stellungen, ranging from a nearly vertical basic position to a steeply inclined reclining position. The lying position is in Fig. 1 drawn throughout, while an upright seating position is shown with broken lines drawn. In general, the vehicle seat 1 can be designed as a single or double seat, wherein at least one lateral armrest 6 can be arranged for the lateral boundary of the seat surface 4 or the seat back 3. This can, if it is a double seat, can be folded up and formed in a plane of the two adjacent seat backs 3 retractable.

Die Beinstütze 5 ist zwischen einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung, in der sie sich in zumindest annähernd vertikaler Lage befindet, und einer Gebrauchsstellung verstellbar, in welcher sie sich vom vorderen Rand 8 der Sitzfläche 4 aus nach vorne erstreckt. In Fig. 1 ist dabei die Gebrauchsstellung den Beinstützen 5 mit durchgezogener Linie gezeichnet, wogegen die Nichtgebrauchsstellung mit unterbrochen gezeichneten Linien dargestellt ist. Zur Verstellung der Beinstütze 5 zwischen deren Gebrauchsstellung und Nichtgebrauchsstellung wird diese um eine in Sitzquerrichtung verlaufen und an einem vorderen Rand 8 der Sitzfläche 4 angeordnete Schwenkachse 7' verstellt. Dabei sind die beiden Achsen 7 und 7' im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordnet und verlaufen gemäß Fig. 1 senkrecht zur Bildebene.The legrest 5 is adjustable between a non-use position in which it is in at least approximately vertical position, and a use position in which they extends from the front edge 8 of the seat 4 from the front. In Fig. 1 is the use position the leg supports 5 drawn with a solid line, whereas the non-use position is shown with broken lines. To adjust the legrest 5 between its position of use and non-use position, this is displaced by a seat transverse direction and arranged at a front edge 8 of the seat 4 pivot axis 7 '. The two axes 7 and 7 'are arranged substantially parallel to one another and run according to Fig. 1 perpendicular to the image plane.

Um eine besonders bequeme Ablageposition der Beine auf der Beinstütze 5 zu ermöglichen, ist diese in Sitzquerrichtung sattelförmig ausgebildet, das heißt sie verläuft gemäß Fig. 1 in deren Gebrauchsstellung mit einer Auflagekontur 9 gekrümmt nach unten. Die sattelförmige Ausbildung der Beinstütze 5 in Sitzquerrichtung bewirkt darüber hinaus, dass die auf der Beinstütze 5 abgelegten Beine einen Seitenhalt erfahren und gleichzeitig bestrebt sind, eine Ablageposition nahe einer Längsmitte der Beinstütze 5 einzunehmen. Unterstützt werden kann der Seitenhalt der Beine zusätzlich durch seitlich hervorstehende Wangen 10, welche darüber hinaus auch an der Sitzfläche 4 und/oder an der Sitzlehne 3 angeordnet sein können und dadurch der auf dem Fahrzeugsitz 1 sitzenden Person einen verbesserten Seitenhalt verleihen.In order to allow a particularly comfortable storage position of the legs on the legrest 5, this is saddle-shaped in the seat transverse direction, that is, it runs according to Fig. 1 curved in its position of use with a support contour 9 down. The saddle-shaped configuration of the legrest 5 in the seat transverse direction additionally causes the legs deposited on the legrest 5 to receive a lateral support and at the same time endeavor to assume a storage position near a longitudinal center of the legrest 5. The lateral support of the legs can be additionally supported by laterally protruding cheeks 10, which moreover can also be arranged on the seat surface 4 and / or on the seat back 3 and thereby give the person sitting on the vehicle seat 1 an improved lateral support.

Zur Verstellung der Beinstütze 5 von deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchsstellung bzw. umgekehrt ist eine Gasfeder 11 vorgesehen, welche einenends an einer Unterseite 12, vgl. auch Fig. 3 der Sitzfläche 4 und anderenends an einer Unterseite 12' der sich in Gebrauchsstellung befindlichen Beinstütze 5 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Ein Gasvolumen in der Gasfeder 11, kann beispielsweise durch einen Hebel 13, insbesondere einen Einhand-Pumphebel vergrößert werden, was zu einem Ausfahren eines Kolbens 15 der Gasfeder 11 führt und dadurch die Beinstütze 5 nach oben um die Schwenkachse 7' verschwenkt. Ein derartiger Hebel 13 ist vorzugsweise seitlich an der Unterseite 12 der Sitzfläche 4 angeordnet und dadurch leicht auch von auf dem Fahrzeugsitz 1 sitzenden Personen zu erreichen bzw. zu bedienen. Hierdurch ist es auch möglich, dass die Beinstütze 5 von deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchsstellung von einer Person verfahren werden kann, welche zum Zeitpunkt des Verfahrens auf dem Fahrzeugsitz 1 sitzt. Zum Verfahren der Beinstütze 5 von deren Gebrauchsstellung in deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung, wird das in der Gasfeder 11 komprimierte Gasvolumen teilweise abgelassen, so dass die in der Gasfeder 11 befindliche Feder ein selbstständiges Verstellen der Beinstütze 5 von der Gebrauchsstellung in die Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewirkt. Die Gasfeder 11 erlaubt dabei ein stufenloses Verstellen der Beinstütze 5, wodurch diese in jeweils gewünschte Lagen verstellt werden kann.To adjust the legrest 5 of the non-use position in the use position or vice versa, a gas spring 11 is provided, which at one end to a bottom 12, see. also Fig. 3 the seat 4 and the other end on an underside 12 'of the leg rest 5 located in the use position is pivotally mounted. A gas volume in the gas spring 11, for example, by a lever 13, in particular a one-hand pump lever can be increased, which leads to an extension of a piston 15 of the gas spring 11 and thereby pivots the legrest 5 up around the pivot axis 7 '. Such a lever 13 is preferably arranged laterally on the underside 12 of the seat surface 4 and thereby easily accessible or to be operated by persons seated on the vehicle seat 1. As a result, it is also possible that the legrest 5 can be moved from its non-use position into the use position by a person who is sitting on the vehicle seat 1 at the time of the method. For moving the leg rest 5 from its position of use in its non-use position, the compressed in the gas spring 11 gas volume is partially drained, so that the spring located in the gas spring 11 causes an independent adjustment of the leg rest 5 of the use position in the non-use position. The gas spring 11 allows a continuous adjustment of the legrest 5, whereby it can be adjusted in each desired positions.

Gemäß den Fig. 2a bis 2c sind als Doppelsitze ausgebildete Fahrzeugsitze 1 dargestellt, welche entlang einer Verschieberichtung 14 relativ zueinander verschiebbar gelagert sind. Dabei erfolgt die Verstellung entlang der Verschieberichtung 14 durch eine Verschiebung der Sitzlehne 3 zusammen mit der Sitzfläche 4 und der Beinstütze 5 bezüglich des Rahmens 2. Eine derartige seitliche Verschiebemöglichkeit bietet den großen Vorteil, dass bei längeren Reisen den Fahrgästen mehr Platz zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann, wodurch der Reisekomfort erhöht wird. Weiter erkennbar ist gemäß Fig. 2a bis 2c, dass die Beinstütze 5 eine kleinere Breite als die Sitzfläche 4 aufweist. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass insbesondere bei seitlichem verschobenem Fahrzeugsitz 1 ein problemloses Abstellen der Beine auf dem Boden möglich ist, ohne dass hierzu die Beinstütze 5 in deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung zurück verfahren werden müsste.According to the Fig. 2a to 2c designed as double seats vehicle seats 1 are shown, which are mounted relative to each other along a displacement direction 14 slidably. In this case, the adjustment along the displacement direction 14 by a displacement of the seat back 3 together with the seat surface 4 and the legrest 5 with respect to the frame 2. Such a lateral displacement option offers the great advantage that passengers can be made more space available on longer trips , which increases travel comfort. It can be seen further in accordance with Fig. 2a to 2c in that the legrest 5 has a smaller width than the seat surface 4. This offers the advantage that a problem-free parking of the legs on the ground is possible in particular in the case of a laterally shifted vehicle seat 1 without For this purpose, the legrest 5 would have to be moved back to its non-use position.

Erfindungswesentlich beim Fahrzeugsitz 1 ist nun, dass die Beinstütze 5 und die Sitzfläche 4 zusammen eine vom Rahmen 2 leicht trennbare und damit leicht austauschbare Einheit bilden. Ein Trennen bzw. Austauschen der als Einheit ausgebildeten Sitzfläche 4 und Beinstütze 5 vom Rahmen 2 ist gemäß den Fig. 2b und 2c dargestellt. Zum Trennen der Sitzfläche 4 wird diese um die Schwenkachse 7 in Richtung auf die Sitzlehne 3 zu nach oben verschwenkt und kann danach gemäß Fig. 2c einfach vom Rahmen 2 abgenommen werden. Ähnlich einfach erfolgt das Einsetzen einer ausgetauschten Einheit aus Sitzfläche 4 und daran gelagerter Beinstütze 5. Denkbar ist auch, dass der Fahrzeugsitz 1 je nach Anforderungen wahlweise mit der als Einheit aus Sitzfläche 4 und Beinstütze 5 ausgebildeten Sitzkomponente oder einer Sitzfläche 4', welche keine daran gelagerte Beinstütze 5 aufweist, ausgestattet werden kann. Dies bedeutet, dass die Gleichteile Sitzlehne 3 und Rahmen 2 bei mehreren Sitzvarianten des Fahrzeugsitzes 1 verwendet werden können, wobei je nach gewünschter Ausstattung entweder einer Sitzfläche 4' ohne Beinstütze 5 oder eine Sitzfläche 4 mit Beinstütze 5 am Rahmen 2 angeordnet wird. Um die Sitzfläche 4 einfach bezüglich des Rahmens 2 positionieren zu können, können beispielsweise Zapfen 17 bzw. Ausnehmungen 18 an der Unterseite 12 der Sitzfläche 4 vorgesehen sein, welche mit komplementär dazu ausgebildeten Ausnehmungen 18 bzw. Zapfen 17 am Rahmen 2 zusammenwirken.Essential to the invention in the vehicle seat 1 is now that the legrest 5 and the seat surface 4 together form an easily separable from the frame 2 and thus easily replaceable unit. A separation of the unitarily formed seat surface 4 and legrest 5 from the frame 2 is in accordance with Fig. 2b and 2c shown. To separate the seat 4, this is pivoted about the pivot axis 7 in the direction of the seat back 3 to the top and can thereafter according to Fig. 2c simply removed from frame 2. It is also conceivable that the vehicle seat 1, depending on the requirements either with the formed as a unit of seat 4 and leg rest 5 seat component or a seat 4 ', which is not there mounted legrest 5, can be equipped. This means that the identical parts seat backrest 3 and frame 2 can be used in several variants of the vehicle seat seat 1, depending on the desired equipment either a seat 4 'without legrest 5 or a seat 4 with legrest 5 on the frame 2 is arranged. In order to be able to easily position the seat surface 4 with respect to the frame 2, it is possible, for example, for pins 17 or recesses 18 to be provided on the underside 12 of the seat surface 4, which cooperate with recesses 18 or pins 17 formed on the frame 2 in a complementary manner.

In Fig. 3 sind die Unterseiten 12' der Beinstütze 5 sowie die Unterseite 12 der Sitzfläche 4 mit zugehörigem Verschwenkmechanismus dargestellt. Dabei ist klar erkennbar, dass sich die Gasfeder 11 auf einer Seite an der Unterseite 12 der Sitzfläche 4 und auf der anderen Seite an der Unterseite 12' der Beinstütze 5 abstützt, bzw. an diesen gelenkig gelagert ist. Wird nun mittels des Hebels 13 das in der Gasfeder 11 vorhandene Gasvolumen vergrößert, so fährt ein Kolben 15 aus einem entsprechenden Zylinder 16 aus, was zu einem Verschwenken der Beinstütze 5 um die Schwenkachse 7' führt. Der Hebel 13, insbesondere ein Einhand-Pumphebel, ist dabei so an der Unterseite 12 seitlich der Beinstütze 5 angeordnet, dass dieser leicht von einer auf dem Fahrzeugsitz 1 sitzenden Person erreicht bzw. betätigt werden kann. Um die Beinstütze 5 von deren Gebrauchsstellung in deren Nichtgebrauchsstellung zurück zu verstellen kann der Hebel 13 in eine andere Richtung betätigt werden, wodurch ein Gasvolumen im Kolben 16 der Gasfeder 11 verringert wird und dadurch ein Zusammenfahren der Gasfeder 11 erreicht wird.In Fig. 3 the lower sides 12 'of the legrest 5 and the underside 12 of the seat 4 are shown with associated pivoting mechanism. It can be clearly seen that the gas spring 11 on one side on the bottom 12 of the seat surface 4 and on the other side on the bottom 12 '. the legrest 5 is supported, or is articulated to this. If the gas volume present in the gas spring 11 is now increased by means of the lever 13, then a piston 15 moves out of a corresponding cylinder 16, which leads to a pivoting of the legrest 5 about the pivot axis 7 '. The lever 13, in particular a one-hand pump lever, is arranged on the underside 12 of the leg rest 5 so that it can be easily reached or operated by a person sitting on the vehicle seat 1. In order to adjust the leg rest 5 back from their position of use in their non-use position, the lever 13 can be actuated in a different direction, whereby a gas volume in the piston 16 of the gas spring 11 is reduced and thereby a collapse of the gas spring 11 is achieved.
